I want to change the name of my character globally in my manuscript. How do I do that?
Edit > Find > Project replace and choose replace A (Bill) with B (Bob). This is not technically reverisble but could do the same thing in reverse. Back up project before do this in case you make a mistake.

Also select Whole Word, else someone like Billingham mysteriously becomes Bobingham or rebilling becomes rebobing–I’ve seen weird combinations because of failure to concentrate when selecting options for this undoable replacement. Thing is, you only see it months later and wonder, “now where’d that weirdo word from?”

After I do project replace it works but only on one page. I need to change the name for the entire manuscript. Is this possible?
On that panel are options. Look at each one. Not at computer
Yes, if you use Ctrl+F.
Use the menu options @GoalieDad advised.
